Researched.

Copy and paste in Google images, some of these lovely looking fish... Don't worry about the tetras etc, we all know what they look like.

8x Neon Tetras
1x Galaxy Rasbora - Newly Discovered
1x Red Tail Shark
1x Bristlenose Pleco Catfish
1x Aphyosemion Australe Gold Killifish
1x African Dwarf Frog
1x Sunset Micky Mouse Platy
1x Orange Sunshine Guppy
1x Red Cobra Delta Guppy
1x Baby Guppy (unknown)


I hope to get some more Rasboras soon as i think they look wicked!

Yeah, but your tank is waaayyy over stocked, and those Rasboras are endangerd, and your not doing there species anygood by buying them, unless you can take proper care of them, and breed them. I simply refuse to buy them, as they are endanger, and i am not dedicated to breeding them.

Is this the tank in your profile? The silver dollar will outgrow it (Prefers groups, so they need a very big tank, really), and the shark might become a terror when it grows up, if it doesn't outgrow the tank as well.

The bristlenose might outgrow the tank, too, as it's a very messy fish for its size (mine makes an epic mess in a 55 gallon tank). I noticed in your other thread you said it was necessary for algae - get a snail or elbow grease. Otos, maybe, but...

Even without those fish, you've got about 2 inches of fish per gallon. How long has the tank been set up? It could work with good filtration and a very mature tank, but I wouldn't be thinking of adding fish, but preparing a larger tank (say 30 gallons - probably bigger if you plan to keep the three mentioned above) for the existing stock.

I agree with Kribensis on the rasbora, too, to some extent. They cost upwards of $30 each in my area, I can't justify investing that much in an exceedingly rare fish unless I planned to breed them for resale. If they're comming from a breeder, though, I don't have any particular problem with people having them.

Stumpy - you have 1 male betta in with 2 females? NOOOOOO! Get the male outta there asap! Better still, take a pic of each and head over to the betta section to check the sexing of each one as shops often get it wrong, and take it from there. But if you do have 1 male and 2 females, very soon you will have less You can't keep a male with females.

I picked up my Galaxy Rasbora last week for under £5 - English money. Got him from the Tropical pet store.
Thats probably why you think my tank is to small because i live in the UK and measurements are different here.

 

[Miss Wiggle]

no, 54 litres is the same all over the world

it equates to 14 US Gallons or 12 UK Gallons, the guideline for stocking is 1" of fish per US Gallon of water, so for your tank you want 14" of fish, you have the following

8x Neon Tetras - 8"
1x Galaxy Rasbora - Newly Discovered - 1"
1x Red Tail Shark - 6"
1x Bristlenose Pleco Catfish - 6"
1x Aphyosemion Australe Gold Killifish - 3"
1x African Dwarf Frog - 2"
1x Sunset Micky Mouse Platy - 2"
1x Orange Sunshine Guppy - 1"
1x Red Cobra Delta Guppy - 1"
1x Baby Guppy (unknown) - 1"

that's 31" of fish, twice as many as you should have

the rasbora needs to be in a group of 6+, the red tailed shark is aggressive and will get too big for your tank and eat the samller fish, the bristlenose is a high waste producer and too big for your tank and the kili should be in a species tank.

Yeah but 60 litres is too small for that stocking list.

Sorry Dude

Your tank is approx 14.4 US gallons / 11.9 UK gallons

In theory you should have 14" of fish or less if you have no plants etc.

Fully grown the current fish in your tank will combine to approx 38.5":
8x Neon Tetras - 12"
1x Galaxy Rasbora - Newly Discovered - 1.25"
1x Red Tail Shark - 5"
1x Bristlenose Pleco Catfish - 5"
1x Aphyosemion Australe Gold Killifish - 2.5"
1x African Dwarf Frog - 1.5"
1x Sunset Micky Mouse Platy - 4"
1x Orange Sunshine Guppy - 2.5"
1x Red Cobra Delta Guppy - 2.5"
1x Baby Guppy (unknown) - 2.5"
That's over 2.5x the recommended stocking.

Your fish may be fine at the moment, you may do regular water changes etc. but consider - a disease or parasite would wreak havok in such a highly stocked aquarium. Not to mention what would happen if your filter stopped working just after feeding.

 

[stumpy57]

well i hate to tell you this but my betta .s are doing fine and have been for the last 12 weeks like i said i have one male and to females

 

[Butch]

Agreed with everyone's advice. And remove the male betta from community and rehome some fishes that's unsuited to your tank. Betta and neon tetras are not good mixed and so are fancy guppies with the killifish.

12 weeks of your male betta and females isn't long enough to live comfty as the male will change its mind about trying to breed the females, he will attack the guppies and the females.

 

[stumpy57]

there are no guppys in with them sorry if i got my list ronge

A liter is a liter is a liter. That's the beauty of the metric system, it's the same everywhere. Gallons can cause some confusion, but not liters.

Stumpy: 12 weeks isn't long for a fish that can live three years - I lived for 12 weeks without heat one winter, but it doesn't mean I didn't really want to kill my room mate. As soon as that male builds a bubble nest, all hell's liable break loose. I gave up trying to breed my betta because when I finally got them to spawn, the male killed the female just in the process of mating, and I was too slow in removing her.

you've been told countless times in different threads that you are overstocked but you choose to ignore it and continue to post your stocking and not reply when someone tells you you're overstocked
